Chapter 44: Ryan
In Sanger and Otzla's room, Reins leisurely teases Paoda in the crib, completely oblivious to Sanger, who is struggling with the information she has brought.
"Oda is such a sweet little princess." Reins smiled and said to Otsla, "Are you going to let her inherit the Ryan family in the future?" ”
"It's still a long way off." Ocla gently stroked Paoda's face, "When she grows up, if she doesn't want to inherit, it's not a problem to find someone with the most potential and no problem in the Ryan family to be in charge of the Ryan family." But...... Of course, if Sanger and I have other children in the future, maybe that one will be interested in the Ryan family. ”
Reins subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
"Are you going to have another one?" She asked skeptically, "Or is there more than one?" ”
Otzla tapped her cheek in thought, she didn't seem to have given it a serious idea before.
"That sounds good, too." The green-eyed woman eventually replied, "If they have more, they will have more choices." But then Ouda will be very tired - the eldest one will always have to take care of the younger one. ”
Reins resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and she looked down at Paoda, she wanted to touch the fragile little baby, but in the end she just put her hand on her chin.
"The little girl is so pitiful." She said hypocritically, "Before she grew up, my mother was thinking about adding a little burden to her." ”
Otzla laughed and slapped Reins, and by this point, Sanger had finally stopped standing their behavior.
"I don't think you're here to see my daughter, or to talk to my wife." He frowned and glared at Reins, "Shouldn't you explain what you want us to investigate?" ”
Reins snorted softly, and she looked at Sanger with a slight hint of disdain.
"Can I be blamed for this?" She said slowly, "It's not me who doesn't use the Ryan family's reception room, you want to stay in the bedroom with your wife and children, and it's already very uncomfortable for me and Apaya to enter your private space, and you're still complaining?" ”
Despite saying that, Reins went to Sanger. She clasped her hands to her chest and glanced down at the stack of papers she had thrown in front of Sanger minutes earlier.
"So what do you want me to explain?" "I think I've made it clear enough, unless your hearing has aged so fast that even Shao's parents can't compare to that?" That's a shame. ”
Apaya turned around and tried to hide her smile, after they had settled the matter with Arka, Hua Shao had brought her parents to Morfi's base in order to introduce Rhines to her family. The silver-haired mercenary had strongly opposed this behavior at the time, but it was clear that she could not resist Hua Shao.
A minute before Hua Shao's parents came to the base, Reins was still repeating to Hua Shao that "if the two elders knew what she had done, they would definitely not be willing to accept her as their family", but when the two elders actually stood in front of her and were still hugged by Hua Shao's mother, she couldn't spit out a word for a long time.
When Reins regains her ability to speak, she discovers just how terrifying hereditary abilities can be. Hua Shao's character of intermittently ignoring other people's words can be found in the roots, no matter how bad what Reins said, Hua Shao's mother can smile as if she didn't hear it, and pull her to talk about the completely inconsequential parental shortcomings.
Reins complained to Appaia countless times in private: "Are they old? "Can you hear what others say", but even Apaya could realize the joy of being loved by her family hidden under her complaints, so he would never follow her to say bad things about the two elders.
"It has nothing to do with my hearing." The corners of Sanger's mouth twisted for a moment, "You gave the range of those people in Roseos, and there's nothing wrong with that. But here's another thing - I think there's a misconception of what the Ryan family is capable of. ”
"Is there one?" Reins feigned surprise and said, "The Ryan family is capable of everything when it comes to obtaining information. ”
Sanger almost rolled his eyes, but he still tried to keep his gaze to the point of staring. As his wife, Otzla's demeanor was too cheerful. Ozra once told Rhines in Sanger's absence, and she thought that Sanger considered Rhines to be her friend, as Sanger would only be more emotional towards people with whom he had good relationships. Although her statement was glared at by Reins, Apaya agreed with Otsla's words.
"Don't change concepts, mercenary leader." Sanger's voice could be described as roaring, "We will only do our best within the reach of humans and humans, not to find the footprints of the gods!" ”
Compared to Sanger, who was slightly agitated, Rhein yawned without any nervousness.
"Since all human mercenaries can use the abilities of the gods and can also enter and exit the ruins of the gods, why can't Ryan explore the information of the gods?" She asked lazily, "It's not like you're going to fight the gods." ”
Appaya even wanted to feel sorry for Sanger, he knew how frustrating it was for a mercenary to play a role in a conversation, let alone Sanger, who didn't like Rhine's eyes.
"When we come across the 1 in 10,000 chance that we have tracked down the gods, will we be able to retreat without alarming them?" Sanger sarcastically said, "How dare a human stalk a god? We're not Rossos, and we can throw the names of our men like waystones. ”
Reins narrowed her eyes, her fingers tapping her fingers on her arm a few times, as if thinking about something.
"So as long as you can get back to Roseos safely, you can do it, right?"
Apaya was sure he saw Sanger's eyes widen in disbelief, but before he could refute it, Rhines had already arranged everything that the Fili mercenaries could offer to save their lives. Whether Reins realizes it herself or not, her style of ignoring other people's statements and doing what she wants is no different from Hua Shao's.
Sanger closed his eyes impatiently, and for a few seconds, Aphaya thought he might turn his face, but Otzra still had a relaxed expression. When Sanger reopened his eyes, he looked resigned.
"You should at least tell me what the hell we're going to do." He said wearily, "Otherwise, I would never have let Ryan's men die." ”
"Oh, it's easy."
Reins responded to his request this time in a cohesive manner, walking over to the map she had brought with her and geographing areas on the map to Sanger.
"Actually, when I was checking on those people, I noticed some strange movements." Rhines nodded to the red-circled part of the map, "These are the areas that those people have passed through, and it is obvious that they went back and forth from different branches of Roses, and in order to avoid people's eyes, they finally came to the vicinity of the ruins. In a few of these areas, I spotted something different, and to be on the safe side, I had Talos check it out. ”
"That different breath is the gods'?"
"Actually, I can't guarantee it." Reins shrugged, "All I know is that it's not a human, and it's not a monster. Maybe it's a 'gift from God'? But if it is a 'gift', then at least it is the 'gift' after awakening that can leak such an obvious breath, but if this 'gift' has been awakened, the people of the church will not miss it. ”
Reins pointed to the map again, this time to several areas circled in yellow, some overlapping the red circle, some outside the red circle.
"This is the area I judge to have an anomalous aura." She frowned slightly, "It's easy to understand the overlap with the red area, Rossos' base has some items related to the gods. But I haven't found a reasonable explanation for the rest yet, they are not Roses' bases, and they are not within the scope of the ruins. They were supposed to be ordinary beast living areas, but if there was an anomaly here, they would have changed into a monster gathering area long ago. ”
"So you want my people to go and observe this part of the field directly." Sanger checked with Reins, "Did you record any strange phenomena about them?" ”
"That's pretty much it."
Reins readily admitted, but Sanger's face turned incredibly black for a moment.
"Then you don't need to say anything as misleading and unreasonable as 'please go and find out the whereabouts of the goddess'!" He roared again, "Who would calmly accept such a dangerous task? ”
"The current situation is not safe, if there is anything abnormal." Rhines spread her hands, "It's just that the probability of encountering a god will be a little lower, it should." ”
Sanger looked like he wanted to get into an argument with Reins, but he wasn't sure if it really made sense to do so - he didn't seem to have anything to do other than make him speechless.
"Why did you give it to Ryan?" He shifted the topic to another perspective, "This level of exploration is enough for the Fili mercenary group to complete on their own. ”
Reins had a confused look on her face, as if to say that she had never thought about it, and Sanger was once again on the verge of anger.
"The Ryan family has this strength, why should Philip do it all?"
Her words were unexpected, and at least his anger was replaced by surprise for a moment. But in the next second, he realized that he had been surprised too soon.
"And seriously, that's too much trouble." Reines even nodded to add weight to what she said, "After we finish investigating, sort out the results, and then have a meeting to tell Morfi the results, and take Morfi to see it next time?" Why are we in such trouble? Since you will know sooner or later, wouldn't it be better for you to see it directly? We can also save a little effort to do something else, lest Murphy become a bunch of older children who will only wait for others to give results, and then be taken out like children by adults to observe and learn. ”
Sanger finally rolled his eyes.
